they had come here when far gone

In speaking of the efforts Of Weld
county, to have their territory dlvid-
ed up into two new counties the
Denver Republican says:
"This demand for the creation of
two new counties in Hortheastern
Colombo grows out of the recent
rapid settlement of that section by
immigrants from the East. II has
been satisfactorily demonstrated that
crope can be grown there without
irrigation. A country which was
once thought to be worthless except
for grazing is now seen to be valu-
able for agriculture. Where it was
once thought that only cowboys and
shepherds could find profitable en-
ployment, it is now admitted that =
dense population of agriculturists
may obtain q livelihood. This means
ultim.tely vast increase in the
wealth and the strength of our State.
We count, therefore, as one of the
signs of Colorado's progress the fact
that the population of the eastern
part OF Weld county has, since the
adjournment Of the last Legislature,
increased to such an extent ~ to call
for the creation of two new counties."

CHARMING FERNS.
Some Simple Directions as to Their
Successful Cultivation.

Ferns are easily cultivated. If a tew
practical details are observed. Grow
ing in their native habitats they are,
for the most part found in shady posi-
! tions, where, during their growing Pc
| riod, they have an abundance Of moist
ure at their roots; therefore, under
cultivation. a shady window is for
most kinds more suitable than sunny
one, and during their season of growth
a good supply of water at the roots Is
demanded. While it is necessary for
their success to have an abundance of
water, they are at the same time very
impatient of stagnant soil, and to
prevent anything of the kind occurring
perfect drainage is indispensable. Not
only is drainage necessity in the cul-
tivation of ferns, but it is also needed
in the culture of all kinds of window
and greenhouse plants after they have
attained a certain size, No plants do
know, except aquatics, that succeed in
a soil from which the water does not
pass off freely. Plants growing in pots
six inches in diameter and over should
have good drainage. This may be done
by placing over the hole in the bottom
of the pot piece of broken pot; over
this place more of the same ma
terial in small pieces; instead of this
pieces of charcoal answer well. Fill
about one-fourth of the pot in this man
ner, and over the top place some moss
or other rough material to prevent the
soil from mixing with the drainage, and
thereby preventing the water from pas
sing freely off. The most suitable soil
for ferns IS mixture Of garden loan
and the black soil found in the woods,
about equal parts of each, then with a
good sprinkling of sharp sand through
the whole, giving more if the loan is
clayey and less if sandy.

Enslayed Oystermen.

Once In While something reache;
the outside world about system OF
half slavery alleged to exist among
oystermen at Chesapeake Bay, Horri-
BILE stories have been told OF the bru-
tality prsctised, but no one has seemed
to move for remedy. This Is pro-
posed to be had now through Congress.
Representative Findlay, of Baltimore,
has presented in the House a petition
for the relief of oyster dredgers in the
Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.
The petition, which is signed by sew
eral hundred persons. calls the atten-
ton of Congress "to system Of
slavery existing on vessels engaged in
oyster dredging in the waters OF the
Chesapeake Bay, which in its brutality,
oppression and horrible treatment has
rarely been equalled In history" Men
are entIced by false representations to
ship for short period, and often are
kidnapped bY brutal force, and kept
against their will as slaves on these
vessels in the bay for three. four and
five months, being transferred from one
boat to another, kept at hard work
without proper provisions, without pay,
and under the most cruel and horrible
treatment; some Of them have been
mpTderel,' and the murderers have
never been brought to justice. The
sufferings of these poor men from NAL
treatment, as from exposure to cold
and the elements without proper Iro-
lection, are heartrending. These men
are without the protection OF the law,
as there is no police supervision over
these waters, and the petitions pray
that committee may be appointed to
inquire into this great grievance, and
that such laws may be passed, as will
remedy this cruel wrong

Seville

The Country all round Seville is a
garden of Eden. The orange trees,
the palm trees and the almond trees
are everywhere. The hedges are the
prickly pear and the cactus. Tho
landscape is Africa in its luyuT aace,
and the goldan sunshine Aoods the land
with glory, But the roads. Oh, ye
gods, the roads! They ought to be
impossible roads, but we drove them.
They are in ruts foot deep; they are
Ill holes in which a man might hide
himself. They have not been swept
for centuries. The mud that was in
heaps In the dGIfs OF the Moors remains
in heaps still. The dogs and cats who
died by the roadside in the days OF the
Moors have not yet been buried. Once
when | was in Seville it rained all
night. The next day we drove through
a sea of liquid mud. Even the road
ways in frUnt-of the palaces of the rich
are in great holes and full of ponds.
Carriages break down, horses break
their legs, visitors disappear dawn holes
in the roadway. Tie Sevillians regret
the cigcaTstahces; they repair the car
riages, buy new horses, make new
friends, but they never repair the road.
Some day the only way Of getting
about Seville will be by bls,l,,aau. Even
now 1t is the safs-s way. So much has
been dcle for Seville by the the past
MOors; the present Bargesses might at
least keep the roads in repair. The
Guadalquiverl Another Of KY lost
illusions. Poets s.ase sung it from a
distaIoa--ihe poet who walks upon its
banks holds his nose. The Guadal-
quiver, out of the poetry books and the
songs and the rof8anees, is a common
Inonplace, dlrty stream, about as ro-
mantle as the Thames at Barking
Greek, and not so clean. 1t is the peo-
pie and the patois and the climate that
make Seville, and the Santa S-rmana
the Holy Week!-that brings thou
sands and thousands of people 70
Seville. 1t is week Of magnificent
processions-a week o. such pomp and
circI-lstaace and magnldcence and
show as to be lndescribable. All the
winter long people come to Seville
because 1t is SAID to be beautiful
place. During the month CT tie Santa
Sermana they come into Seville to see
a sight which no other town in the
world can show.

her had taken the utmost precautIon
that she should not be Unidentified, but
for that reason we could not even con-
lecture. Here was lump Of salvage
for us worth looking after, and Capt.
Lansing determined TO take her to the
islands. We hadn't an extra man on
the brig. Indeed. we were one short
of our complement. We had there
fore decided to take tow line to the
brig and hang by her at least while the
weather was safe, and hld begun our
preparations, when an ''ox eye" or
squall was seen gathering down in the
south, and we had to hurry aboard the
brig to make all snug. The squall hit
US 0ercely, and lasted nearly half an
hour, and when we came out of it the
schooner had turned turtle within half
mile Of US. and the prize had slipped
from our grasp.
Did we ever learn anything further
about herr not a word, singular as it
may seem. The incident was published
in scores of papers, and called to the
attention of thousands of sailors. but
none OF them was ever able to furnish
any true information. What do l
thinkp Wen, it was one of the myster-
les, but no stranger than some Others L
have had hand in.

Wood ShavinSs.

The use OF wood shavings, prepared
by special machinery, for the packing
of fragile goods, has recently been in
troduced into Germany from America,
where this material was first produced
on large scale. Since its introduction,
the application of this material has
been considerably extended il ssertlany
and shavipgy are IoS made as a regular
commercial article In eight different
sizes. the largest being composed of
fibers about a third of millimetre
wide, while the finest scarcely exceeds
the thickness Of an ordinary wool fibre.
Coarser qualities sre used instead of
straw or paper cutting as a packing
material, while the finer qualities are
used as suffering for the cheaper class
of furniture, and the finest for hygienic
purposes, instead Of lint. intermediate
sorts can be used for the cleaning of
machinery, In substitution of cotton
waste. and also for fltering purposes.
Experiments made ip several breweries
with wood shayings as q altering
medium for beer have given very salts
factory results.

She Might Forgive Him.
Although He Did Remember Too
Much for Peace Sake.

They were celebrating their silver
wedding and the friends were admir-
ng them as people always do other
people when they are getting a lot OF
presents. You have noticed. OF course,
how people look at you when you show
them something somebody has given
you. They are surprised and they envy
you. They always wonder, however,
In themselves what on earth anybody
could see in you to give you anything
so handsome. Unless it Is your hus.
band. Then they smile and wonder
what he has been doing that his con-
science needs rest. But If you'll notice,
you'll find that people who get many
presents have many friends. You may
have many friends and get precious few
presents. Presents make friends;
friends don't make presents. Married
people increase the circle of their
friends with every anniversary of their
wedding, because the presents get
handsomer and more expensive. You
can work this paradox out for yourself.
